Benzino challenges Eminem to a face-to-face Rap Battle

After battling Eminem on wax earlier this year, Benzino is ready to go head-to-head with the rap god.

Benzino calls Eminem

On Sunday (April 14), Benzino sat down for an interview with TMZ where the former rapper and Source The magazine's co-owner weighed in on the recent rap diss songs that have brought the competition back to hip-hop. During the conversation, which you can watch below, the subject of Benzino and Eminem's beef came up. That's when Benzino challenged Shady to a face-to-face rap battle.

“At this point, after 'Rap Elvis,' I think I can go head-to-head with him,” Benzino insists around the 2:20 mark of the video below. “I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to challenge him here on TMZ. Face to face, three rounds. I believe I can take him.”

Now, when we were fighting, I probably wouldn't say that 20 years from now,” he continues. “But since then, I've mastered my craft and am in the best lyrical shape of my life. I'm ready to fight Eminem. And I think it's going to be great for hip-hop.

Eminem and Benzino Beef Alive and Well

Eminem and Benzino's two-decade beef was renewed in January when Slim dissed Benzino on the song “Doomsday Pt. 2.” Benzino fired back with several diss songs and won when Eminem didn't respond. That didn't stop Benzino from going inside. Most recently, he filmed a music video at Eminem's Mom's Spaghetti restaurant in Detroit.
